A.T.E. Group Represent 50+ Global Leaders in Textile Engineering Since 1939

In an interview with the Kohan Textile Journal, Mr Anuj Bhagwati, Head – A.T.E. Group, talks about A.T.E.'s businesses, the Indian textile industry in the pre and post coronavirus pandemic, and the role the textile machinery segment can play for a sustainable textile industry.

"A.T.E. was founded in 1939 as an agency house representing a few German textile machinery manufacturers in India.
Today, we are still in the agency business, and some of our relationships are 70 years old! We represent 50+ global leaders in textile engineering across the textile value chain in India, and some in Bangladesh as well.
In the next chapter of our story after agency, we ventured into textile machinery and accessories manufacturing. In textile engineering, we have our own manufacturing for precision spinning machinery components under the brand TeraSpin, and two joint ventures: Truetzschler India, a j/v with Trützschler, Germany, to manufacture spinning preparatory machinery, and KARL MAYER Textile Machinery India, a j/v among KARL MAYER, Rabatex Industries and A.T.E., to manufacture warp preparation machines and creels.
At A.T.E., we have always taken our responsibility to the environment seriously in our own operations and this has become an integral part of our business strategy. We have built up businesses offering end-to-end wastewater treatment solutions; energy-efficient cooling and solar heating; value-added products for textile, packaging, etc., and industrial IoT. ‘Invent in India’ has been one of our major themes and we have developed several proprietary technologies. Our solutions find applications in a wide range of industries, apart from textiles – from the automotive and engineering industries to food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, etc.
I believe that our growth and development stem from our values-based management, our service mindset, our commitment to technology, and our strong relationship with our customers and principals spanning several decades." he says.
